Default Headlight Leveling Connecting Rod

When I finished rebuilding the rear suspension, shocks etc.--Right and Left--and the front upper shock mounts--two year old Welsh mounts were trash---I found the headlight leveling sensors, both on the left side of the car, the connecting rods on both, front and rear, were just be hanging there due to the fact the material used to hold the rod to the ball had detreated and mostly fallen out of the rods.
If anyone knows of a source where I can order new rods it would be appreciated. I've tried every where. The one place I found wanted to sell me the complete sensor ($$$) which includes the rod. Both my sensors work, I just need the rods.
Help appreciated.

Chuck

"Sorry, Sir - that part is not available separately, you have to buy the complete assembly"...

Unobtainium separately, but some have ingeniously fabricated them. See this thread from giandanielxk8:
